Huevos Rancheros Technique Recipe

This recipe is more about the technique I use for my huevos rancheros than originality. The best huevos rancheros I've ever had is at the Blue Moon Cafe in Fells Point - Baltimore. They were smooth and creamy on the top, spicy in the middle, and crunchy on the bottom.

How to make it

Spray a large skillet with Pam and heat. Place the tortilla in the skillet for a few seconds and then flip it over for a few more seconds until it is hot. Gently break the egg onto the tortilla until the egg adheres to the tortilla - if it sliides off, no big deal, just gently put it back with a spatula.

Season the egg with salt and pepper, crumble the cheese on top of the egg, sprinkle with the beans, and the chorizo. Turn the heat down to medium and cover with a lid. Cook to how you like your fried eggs and remove to a plate.

Top the huevos rancheros with guac, taco sauce and cilantro....maybe a little crema if you wish! The tortilla is crisp and crunchy, the egg and the toppings stay right in place, and you can pick it up and eat it all right down. YUM!

You can easily make as many at a time as your skillet will hold. Enjoy!
